This essential core text introduces readers to metaphysics. In thoughtful and engaging prose, Peter van Inwagen examines three profound questions: What are the most general features of the world? Why is there a world? And, what is the place of human beings in the world? The third edition includes an entirely new chapter on ontology. The new chapter presents a theory of the nature of being and proceeds to apply this theory to two problems of ontology: the problem of non-existent objects and the problem of universals. Equally valuable as a textbook in a university course or an introduction to metaphysical thinking for the interested layperson, Metaphysics remains a fascinating book for a wide range of readers, from first-time students to the most sophisticated philosophers.

P74-75:we call the aggregate of fixed moments pastward from the moment “the past” and the aggregate of fixed moments furtureward from the moment “the furture”。Thus the past is continuously growing and the furture contituously shriking。Many have found it natural to picture time as a river flowing furtureward,and to pic us the inhabitants of time
